Sad story again- one loss of life- bullets were fired out from Mr Deepak Gurungs house- here they say that the meeting were taking place so the role of arms and ammunation fitted out here- very very clear to the naked eyes- understand this.
if the public protests also then also Mr Deepak could have the help of the police – its the loss of life- crowds react in whatever way they can so we can take this but on the part of Mr. Deepak it cannot be justified- don’t understand why people do ‘wrong things at the wrong time’.
